Based on how the last 20 years have gone, I wouldn't put a bet on that
Ok, acid rain, rising sea levels, ozone layer, Afghanistan, Iraq, Mass union strikes of the 80s, leaded petrol, local smog.
We had teams coming to our primary school in 1988 with a huge Lego model, they told us how much of East Anglia would be under water due to melting ice caps.
We had people showing us how bad acid rain was and a walk around Peterborough Cathedarel with a model showing it would be half gone by the time we were 30.
No O-Zone so we would be living like Australians.
All our oil will run out in 2040 if they were to be believed.
All these affected Peterborough, add in queueing for powdered milk at the chemists and then queueing for childcare allowance.
Then off home to watch the rented Granada television and having toastie Thursdays as the food had run out on Wednesday. Food especially is about half the actual cost it was 30 years ago.
I think what as an average we have now is vastly better than 30 years ago, the challenges are just as big but different and they will be addressed by the generations who want to make change.
Doom mongers can fuck off.
I’ve said it before but Blue Peter did more for Making a difference than any of these militant shouty pricks have done.
Support local business, don’t eat processed crap, try and live on whatever food takes the minimal distance from being alive to being on your plate and enjoy the outdoors.
Oh and say morning to strangers on your walks outside, a smile goes a long way.
Negative thinking woe is me the end is nigh bollocks is a self fulfilling prophecy that needs fucking off.
Dave!
And breathe
